How many fucking times do we have to hear this shit? Yes, we know there are many
British accents. Now quit your whining.

Bang go bang to the batmobile.

I have American friends here in NZ, and they can't tell the difference between aussie/kiwi
and even british accents!!!!!!
|
|
|
I can't tell the difference b/w a Canadian an a Gringo. They both sound the same
to me. I guess it might have something to do with them not being exposed with that
kind of accent before.
|
|
|
Doesn't the term "gringo" apply to anybody who's WASP'y (and not just Americans)?
|
|
|
What's a WASP? I'm assuming that you are not talking about the insect.
|
|
|
WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
|
|
WASP is a bit of a misnomer. I mean, if you look white in America, you are essentially
labelled as a WASP. For instance, your parents could be Russian, but they moved to
America before you were born, and you would be considered a WASP.
However, I guess that happens with just about everyone in America; Native American,
African-Americans, Indian-Americans, Asian-Americans and European-Americans or course.

Well, I'm just a citizen of the world.

Does anyone know what this word means in English, "Norđurlandamálin."
The word is in Icelandic, and it has something to do with language (it could be the
name of a language possibly).
|
|
|
I only know that norđur means north.
|
|
Perhaps it is something to do with Northern European Languages. I am not really sure
about it. Um...no, I guess it is a separate language.
"Á geisladiskinum eru ţví ekki einungis Norđurlandamálin, heldur einnig
enska, franska, ţýska, hollenska, ítalska, spćnska og portúgalska"
Err..."not only (Norourlandamalin), rather also English, French, (ţýska: German?),
Italian, Spanish and Portuguese."
Norđur means north, landa means land but I can't figure out málin. Hey, mál means
language.
|
|
|
Maybe it means a dialect of Icelandic? I thought, "tungamal" meant language? I can
see that this word has "mal" in it, but I wonder why you have taken away, or why
I have added :-)
|
|
Ah, I think the "-in" means "the."
So, The Northman's language" is what it could be. But as for its true meaning...eg
ved ekki :-(
That last phrase there was Danlandic. The "eg" and "ekki" are Icelandic whereas the
"ved" is Danish.
